=== VirtualBox 4.0 for Linux ===

'''Note:''' The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install !VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.

The Oracle public key for apt-secure can be downloaded [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc here]. You can add this key with

''(As of !VirtualBox 3.2, the signing key was changed. The old Sun public key for apt-secure can be downloaded [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc here].)''

To install !VirtualBox, do
{{{
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0
}}}
Replace `virtualbox-4.0` by
 * `virtualbox-3.2` to install !VirtualBox 3.2.12
 * `virtualbox-3.1` to install !VirtualBox 3.1.8
 * `virtualbox-3.0` to install !VirtualBox 3.0.14
 * `virtualbox-2.2` to install !VirtualBox 2.2.4
 * `virtualbox-2.1` to install !VirtualBox 2.1.4
 * `virtualbox-2.0` to install !VirtualBox 2.0.12
 * `virtualbox` to install !VirtualBox 1.6.6
'''Note:''' Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'', ''vboxnetflt'' and ''vboxnetadp'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next `apt-get upgrade`. For Debian it is available in Lenny backports and in the normal repository for Squeeze and later. The dkms package can be installed through the Synaptic Package manager or through the following command:
{{{
sudo apt-get install dkms
}}}

What to do when experiencing '''The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG ...''' when refreshing the packages from the repository?
{{{
# sudo -s -H
# apt-get clean
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
# apt-get clean
# apt-get update
}}}


=== RPM-based Linux distributions ===

Starting with !VirtualBox 3.0.12 we provide a yum-style repository for Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE. Note that '''3.0.x''' .rpm packages are named ''!VirtualBox-3.0.x'' while '''3.1.x''' .rpm packages are named ''!VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.x''. This naming scheme allows to use the older 3.0.x packages without changing the repository.

Furthemore, all .rpm packages are signed. The Oracle public key for rpm can be downloaded [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc here]. You can add this key ''(not necessary for yum users, see below!)'' with
{{{
sudo rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
}}}
or combine downloading and registering:
{{{
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import -
}}}
The key fingerprint is
{{{
7B0F AB3A 13B9 0743 5925  D9C9 5442 2A4B 98AB 5139
Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key) <info@virtualbox.org>
}}}
After importing the public key, the package signature can be checked with
{{{
rpm --checksig PACKAGE_NAME
}}}
''Note that importing the key is not necessary for yum users (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) when using one of the virtualbox.repo files from below as yum downloads and imports the public key automatically!''

The package signature is checked by yum/zypper as well:
 * Users of Fedora can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo the Fedora repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
 * Users of RHEL can add [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo the RHEL repo file] to ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
 * Users of openSUSE can add the proper repo file for [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/10.3/virtualbox.repo 10.3] (!VirtualBox 3.0.x only), [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.0/virtualbox.repo 11.0], [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.1/virtualbox.repo 11.1], [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.2/virtualbox.repo 11.2] or [http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/11.3/virtualbox.repo 11.3] to ''/etc/zypp/repos.d/''.
'''Note:''' Users of Fedora/Mandriva might want to install the '''`dkms`''' package (not available on openSUSE) to ensure that the !VirtualBox host kernel modules (''vboxdrv'', ''vboxnetflt'' and ''vboxnetadp'') are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next kernel update.
